Hot Toys Bruce Wayne/Batman (2011 Toy Con Ex) review + pics

[haytil]

Thanks dudes. Its funny how the Wayne sculpt actually looks better on the TDK suit. Meh, whatever works.

I think part of it is because the expression and face seem like it comes from TDK, not BB. Specifically, the scene where he's looking at his monitors and trying to figure out what the Joker's motivation is.

Get a little tripod for it. Amazing how a tripod helps a point and shoot to get a crisper image while the camera focuses.

Also, where your figures are displayed... do you have a dimmer switch for the lighting? or the lights always at full max?

Good advice here. Low light and a tripod make a big difference with a point and shoot.

BBTS standard shipping.

Until SS matches, without a premium, i will continue to take my business elsewhere.

And that's without EXTRA charge.

 

[Butters]

That's how mine arrived, but don't kid yourself that it isn't part of the price...

And that's without EXTRA charge.

Then buy from them and don't whine when they don't carry something SSC does. Case closed.

Agreed. It's certainly a TDK looking Bruce as opposed to a Begins version

Nicely done, R -- and congrats, man.

That Wayne heads looks insane. How's it look in hand?

MUCH better. You can see all the small skin detail with the naked eye. Very nice.

Nice set-up there Voorhees!

The Bale HS looks perfect in the TDK suit.

Thanks dude!

Yeah this seems to be the case, its just odd that it came with a BB item

Yep! Just got off the phone with SSC, had them process my final flexpay payment early the phone rep said that it will be shipping Thursday and Friday...btw the phone rep was Mike, the guy who's voice you hear on their automated voicemail system...kinda funny

Actually, no. Low light will make a grainier picture due to lack of light with no manual controls. Fully lit room, near enough no grain/noise.

Called and had SSC pack out mine. I figure at $224.99, I mine as well pay an extra $10 to get a mint box. Sucks they won't do it for cheaper and it will also increase the shipping cost due to the larger box. But I don't want to pay $224.99 for something with a smashed box!

Just did the same thing with Mike.

Cant wait to have this badboy next do the dx

Those pics look phenomenal, Voorhees! I didn't think wookster would blindly defend a figure he paid so much for if it really looked like his photos. I much prefer these newer shots with the matte body to the shiny 2008 version. Can't wait to get this! So happy they've bumped up the shipping date.

What kind of body did you use for the suit?

Thanks man. Yeah the newer suit has more detail, sort of different shades that emphasise the bat logo and what not. The OC bats had one colour/shade. Thats why it always seemed toyish to me.

None here will be disapointed.
